Here are the general steps and timelines: Landlord gives tenant written notice to vacate (typically 7-14 days) Landlord files eviction complaint with court (immediately after notice period ends) Tenant is served with the court summons (5-10 days) Court hearing is held (within 7-10 days of summons)
Fees: Eviction costs can add up quickly. These include the average filing fee of $288.50 in Alabama, which can vary by county. Additional costs may encompass service and court fees, and they do not cover legal fees or post-eviction expenses.
For yearly leases, a seven-day notice is required, while month-to-month leases or those without a formal agreement generally require a 30-day notice. If the tenant does not comply, the landlord may file an unlawful detainer lawsuit. This requires going to court to obtain an eviction order legally.
What is Form C-59? The Form C-59 is used by landlords in Alabama to file a complaint against tenants for eviction and unlawful detainer. The form should be completed accurately and submitted to the district court where the property is located.
To write an eviction notice, you need to include specific information such as addresses, tenant names, lease status and date, reasons for eviction, the date the tenant must leave the property, and record of delivery. Make sure to follow your states laws regarding notice requirements and timeline for eviction.

Before a landlord can start the eviction process, they are required to give the tenant an official written 7-Day Notice to Pay. If rent is paid within those 7 days, then the filing for eviction does not continue. If they are unable to pay, the landlord reserves the right to continue filing for eviction.
